The Impact of Families upon Young Adults' Perceptions of Parental Roles.

Nunn, Gerald D.; Parish, Thomas S.

Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v19 n4 p7-11 1982

Examined the effects of family form and process on 314 college students. Findings indicated that parental childrearing roles were perceived more positively by those from intact, and death (of father) nonremarried families than those from divorced, remarried families. Perceived family happiness did not impact significantly. (Author/JAC)
